Without the law there is no grace

As God in the person of Jesus Christ gave His all by laying down His life to save sinners from sin, the sinner gives his all out of loving obedience not to sin against the one who saves him from it. This is how grace necessitates the law. The law is kept because of God’s […]

Do you know the love of God?

To know God’s love intellectually, and not personally is to only be able to respond to His love intellectually. Being intellectually zealous of the knowledge about God. Thus, to know God’s love intellectually, purely on a theological basis will never suffice the deep longings of the heart and soul of an individual. It’s truly meant […]

What is self righteousness?

Self righteousness is a subjective standard of righteousness. A particular righteousness relative to an individual’s way of living righteously. It’s a righteousness of the world, which stems from the sinful nature of humanity. And because it’s of the sinful nature of man, it’s man’s attempt to live righteously in his own strength through sinful means. […]

Self deception

Some people lie to themselves about themselves. And tell those same lies, which they have told themselves to others. Lying to self because of not wanting to accept all of the truth. Showing an impartiality to it even though they are consciously aware. Due to a half hearted commitment, where they are double minded at […]

Grace and justice kissed each other on the cross of Jesus Christ

We have all sinned in transgression to God’s law. It was simultaneously an act of God’s justice and grace where Jesus takes our place, and fulfills the righteousness of the law.

Wanting to do things our own way, looking to the earthly things of this world, which is temporary. But if we seek first God’s heavenly kingdom and His righteousness, the desires of our hearts are […]

What is Justification, sanctification and infused righteousness?

Justification by faith means, we are made instantaneously right before God, because of our faith in the sacrifice of His Son. Imputing the righteousness of Jesus Christ to the sinner. To cover the sinner with His righteousness, which He empowers us to live by. Santification is the process of purifying the moral depravity of the […]

Who are God’s true people?

Jesus Christ gave His all to save His bride, the Church. Therefore, His bride reciprocates that love by loving Him with her all. The love reciprocated back is not only to love Him, knowing His love; but to love Him at the same intensity of the depths of His love. Loving Him completely selflessly, and […]

Our intellectual issues

People are not stupid. God created man with a highly complex mind to be able to think, and make rational, intelligent choices. But because of sin humanity became imperfect. Faultering to the sinful propensities of the sinful nature to make unreasonable decisions. Sometimes the truth in plain sight can’t be seen. Being born spiritually blind. […]

The Parable of the Sower

If we are not on the solid rock of Jesus Christ to begin with, then the test of our faith will fail in time. Consider the parable of the sower. Some will hear God’s word for the first time, and immediately be excited; but because they have no depth, no root they wither away when […]
